The CAS Watercolour theme challenge this month is birthday and the CAS Mix-Up challenge is to use cling wrap - so combined the two challenges for my card today.
The background uses cling wrap and Tsukineko frost ink (see how to here) - when dry I sponged iced spruce and broken china distress inks over all. The background was die cut with stitched rectangle frames and mounted on a pale gray card base - outer edge of the frame is popped up with foam tape. The flower was watercoloured with my Zigs - added the little sentiment and a few Nuvo drops - and done.
i used embossing, stamping and die cutting as extras on my card for both challenges.
Thanks for visiting today and your kind comments make my day!
gorgeous!!!
